The first expansion pack for XCOM: Enemy Unknown lands on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and PC December 4th. It will be available for $6.99 (560 Microsoft Points).

As previously announced, "Slingshot" adds three new missions to the campaign set in China, promising to add a bit more structure and narrative to the mostly randomly-generated game. To access the add-on's new content, you'll need to start a brand new game; the first opportunity to partake in a DLC mission should occur around when you make your first encounter with a downed ship.

The remaining DLC missions will appear as optional objectives in your command center as the game progresses. Successfully completing the missions will unlock a new squad member for your team and earlier access to certain bonuses, therefore changing the way you approach your upgrade tree for the entire game.
